Tomlinson even disappointed me. Is he really that hurt? This was the biggest game of his career, and he sat on that bench wrapped up in a parka wearing his hide me mask. With the season on the line, and a championship within their graps, he chooses to sit it out.

It's not the fact that he was too injured to play that I have an issue with, it was his sulking primadonna attitude sitting on the bench and refusing to support his team, namely the guys that WERE gutting it out with injuries. He showed right there he's more of a "me" guy than I ever thought.

Or, am I being too hard on the guy?

I think the criticism is warranted. He showed no heart. He only cared for himself, and chose not to risk his career when his team was in the biggest game of the year.

So LT said of the Pats that "if they ain't cheating, they ain't trying". Well, I guess if your not whining, your not trying. But what can I say about LT trying when he is sitting on the sidelines. Maybe the leader of that team is P. Rivers and his big mouth.

If LT can't push off his leg to make plays it's common sense that you play the very capable backup or you risk hurting the team, especially since Turner can play. He has a 5.5 yd per carry avg for his career.
